Betting Trends for vs

While Edmonton will go into Toronto and walk out with a victory, Toronto will keep the game close enough to cover. Toronto has covered the number in 6 of the last 7 following a bye. Edmonton on the other hand has failed to cover 6 of the last 7 on the road and 5 of the last 6 following a win straight up. Final Score Prediction, Edmonton Eskimos win but fail to cover ATS 26-21.
